Value of CE-MRA Angiography in Diagnosis of Arteriosclerotic Occlusive Disease of Lower Extremity

Objective To discuss the value of CE-MRA of lower extremity angiography in diagnosing Arteriosclerotic occlusive disease. Methods CE-MRA was performed on 25 patients with symptom of arteriosclerotic occlusive disease. CT angiograms were produced using maximal intensity projection. Results 24 examinations of CE-MRA were successful with 2 cases of straitness in right ailiaca communist, 2cases of straitness and 2 cases of occlusion in aorta abdominal, 4 cases of straitness and 2 cases occlusion in artery of femoral, 3 cases of straitness and 4 cases of occlusion in artery of crus. One case was failed for the patient himself. Conclusion CE-MRA of lower extremity angiography can monitor multiple arteries of Arteriosclerosis occlusive disease of lower limbs and observe the extent and range of lesions. It has high diagnostic accuracy in patients with lower extremity artery diseases, and it is a safe, no-trauma and effective method in lower extremity artery.
